6 Nimmt!: 30th Anniversary Edition

6 Nimmt! (also known as Take 5!) is a quick-fire card game where everyone plays simultaneously, racing to avoid collecting penalty points. Each turn, all players secretly choose a number card from their hand, then reveal together. Cards go into one of four ascending rows, and if you play the sixth card in a row, you must claim all five cards already there—each cow icon on those cards counts as a penalty point. The twist? You can't always control where your card lands, so you're constantly balancing risk and desperation as the rows fill up.

This anniversary edition bundles the classic base game (2–10 players, chaotic and fast) with five fan-designed variants that twist the formula: reverse-order rows, jumping cow cards that leap between rows, number-reversal spinners, and more. It also includes a cooperative mode called Beat the Buffalo (1–6 players), where you collectively try to outscore an automated opponent using action cards to manipulate the rows. Each variant is modular, so you can tailor the chaos to your group.

Perfect for families, large gatherings, or filler sessions between heavier games. The rules take two minutes to teach, rounds fly by in 20–30 minutes, and the player count scales brilliantly—it's one of the few games that genuinely works with ten people. If you want a light, laugh-out-loud card game with just enough bite to keep everyone engaged, this is it.
